Just a quick one to say that we spent last Thursday night recording a mostly acoustic session, complete with interview for the delightful Studyvox FM student radio station. Expect some acoustic mp3’s of our exciting new tunes up on the main sites shortly!

HA!

Indeed ha. For this was our 3rd gig in one week. That’s a lot of gigs and not so many weeks. Are we on a roll? I think it’s too soon to tell personally, but we certainly are popular. Well, I like us.

So the gig: we had been approached by Adrian Phillips who had previously featured us on his site tuna the day - you should check it out, it’s a neat site (can I say “neat” and still be cool? I dunno, but I’m going for it), and we of course said “delighted to”. Pete seemed disgruntled, but then again he often is. And we had the pleasure of supporting Avipaul (look at me and my hyperlinking. Took long enough to remember how to do it though) at said Fat Lil’s. Again, check them out, they make some good sounds!

The venue: Fat Lil’s. For those who have not been to Witney then you may not have heard of it. For anyone who has been to Witney this is the venue that you want to play. Situated just on a road (some road, dunno which one) leading into the town centre, this venue looks quite modest when you look from outside - you can see that there is a door and name across the top and that is about it. Venture on inside however and you can see why we were excited to play here. Walk on inside and the venue takes an almost terraced-house approach: seems to stretch on forever! Bar on your left (this of course was the first point I noticed) and stage straight on ahead, on the other side of the seating area. There is even a musicians area with lovely comfy seating just off the side of the stage! We then got the tour from Ade, introduced to our sound engineer and spent some time getting ready backstage.

On for soundcheck: and it was a breeze. Mics were set up readily while we were getting ready, stage was nicely sized for a sextet and all that was required was to blast some notes out (I blasted, everyone else played proper stuff) and rattle through a couple of tunes. And then on to the Chinese we went.

The gig itself. Good. Very good. We had a shortish set (compared to some of the others we have done) of 45 minutes and so we were able to produce a pretty tight set. A couple of new tunes were aired as well, though we stuck mostly to what we new (we don’t know a lot, but what we do know is….. good). And then Avipaul followed - very impressive set, especially the use of the Tabla (if you don’t know what it is you can look it up).

So a B+ for this one. We were treated very well, felt very welcome and the sound and crowd were excellent. Just waiting for our next opportunity to show Witney and Fat Lil’s what we are capable off!
